Car2Go car-sharing in Chicago on pause following fraud problem

Car2Go vehicles are lined up for display in March 2012, in Washington.

An app-based rental auto company has suspended service in Chicago after more than 100 vehicles were stolen through misuse of its mobile application. "Due to the information provided by the company, numerous vehicle have been recovered and persons of interest are being questioned", the plod said, in a statement provided by Share Now.

Parent company Share Now has objected to news reporters' use of the term "hacked" in this case, noting to The Register that no corporate or customer data was snatched, and that its app was not compromised nor subverted.

Whatever the cause, the incident is unusual for auto services as a whole - it's not often that a company has to shut down service entirely in a given area, even if temporarily.

Silverman, asked whether any vehicles had been stolen, as initially reported by one news outlet, declined to comment on "an active police investigation". They do not have to be returned to a specific place.
